Why Religion Makes No Sense In The ‘Indiana Jones’ Universe

'Hellraiser's Director, Clive Barker, Learned How To Direct A Week Before Filming

So after the tenets of two different major religions were basically proven, what did Indy believe? Well, at the end of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, he gets married in a Christian church – but at that point, he’s also learned just that there are alien-like interdimensional creatures, illustrating that parallel realities exist, and implicitly kind of blowing up the idea that God, any God, has a divine plan for the world.

If Indiana Jones’ brain hasn’t been turned to oatmeal by this point, maybe whatever wacky supernatural knick-knack he encounters in the fifth movie will give him some clue as to where his soul will spend eternity once he shuffles off this mortal coil.
